Is the thumbnail not doing the shirt justice or is this just not the right style for the shirt?

Any help would be awesome!

Well, I think you got lost in the sea of late-ish entries. Plus, it's a new style that voters aren't used to yet. You never know what's going to hit. At least I don't. Shiny cute animals are always a sure bet.

All good points. I think getting a shirt submitted early can really help give you a boost. Thanks for the tips. Maybe a resub with a penguin drinking hot chocolate could help ;)

I was able to find 2012 names (as you kindly provided), but they did not have any statistical numbers with them. While I did not include the numbers in the actual design, I used them to accurately represent the difference in popularity between the names (as seen in the green bars). Otherwise, sure... I would have just made a list and been done with it.

I didn't think it'd be a huge deal including information from 2010 as the majority of text books I own (even from 2012) all include diagrams that are outdated by a few years or more. Some even as much as 10 or 15 years! Any kind of case study or research involves taking information from a mix of years. I don't know anyone who writes a paper using sources from just the current year. I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect that either.

I had a feeling someone would point out the adopted cats all being male too. I guess I just assumed that people would use their common sense to realize it was referring to the larger body of cats. But perhaps you're right. That was a huge undersight on my part.

Thanks for the critique

- The inclusion of 2010 makes the shirt look "dated" already; it's going to look even more dated next year. A quick search did yield a list of most popular kitten names of 2012, but in any case, consider omitting the year completely.
- The cloud for the 20% adopted infers that it's only male cats that were adopted. Shift it over to repreWhat's the remaining 15% for the pie chart?sent the 60/40 gender split.

- Good spin on the critter-murder stat.

The coffee facts designs looks really nice. I like it a lot. The style, colors, and layout are awesome. I think it might make a better poster than a shirt, though. Some of the details would be a little hard to see and read (especially from a distance and on the smaller sized shirts). I think it makes an excellent poster. After the hold's over, I might try putting it on Society6 (or somewhere that does posters). I can see it selling there.

Bootsboots, thank you for the great feedback. I think you are absolutely right about the T-shirt vs poster comment. I'll need to check out society6 and give them a try as well. Thanks for helping out the new guy!

Hey, so I just submitted my first woot derby entry! I was wondering, how is it that many of the other submissions have a close up view of the design, like the design detail image, while mine has only the shirt comp image? Is there any way to change this?

I changed "than" to "then", as it should have been in the first play. As for both the back and front not being able to be done, I found nothing in the rules that says otherwise. And I kept the front low key so as not to start a riot.
